Effective 9/27/2022, name modified to O-Glycoprotease (IMPa)
O-Glycoprotease (IMPa) is a broad specificity protease that cleaves the peptide bonds of a glycoprotein or glycopeptide immediately N-terminal to a serine or threonine residue containing a mucin-type O-linked glycan with or without sialylation.
Enables O-glycosylation site mapping and O-glycan structural profiling
Efficiently cleaves adjacent to O-glycans with or without sialic acid, no neuraminidase treatment necessary
Recombinant enzyme with no detectable non-specific protease contaminating activities
Can be used under native or denaturing conditions
Glycerol-free for optimal performance in HPLC and mass spectrometry analysis
Supplied in solution; optimal activity and stability for up to 24 months
O-Glycoprotease (IMPa), also known as Immunomodulating protease (IMPa), is a broad specificity O-glycoprotease from Pseudomonas aeruginosa. It recognizes mucin-type O-glycans in glycoproteins or glycopeptides, including branched and sialylated structures, and cleaves the peptide bond immediately N-terminal to a glycosylated serine or threonine residue. It can be used in glycoproteomics workflows to map O-glycosylated residues and structurally profile O-glycans present at each glycosite. O-Glycoprotease (IMPa) has a 6xHis-tag for easy removal from a reaction using nickel affinity resins.

Two-fold dilutions of O-Glycoprotease (IMPa) are incubated with 2μM of FAM-labelled O-glycopeptide and 20 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0 in a 20 µl reaction. The reaction mix is incubated at 37°C for 2 hours. Separation of reaction products are determined by CE analysis.
O-Glycoprotease (IMPa) cleaves a variety of glycoproteins and glycopeptides containing mucin-type O-glycans with or without sialic acid, including Tn-antigen (GalNAc-α-Ser/Thr).
Glycoproteins can be sequentially digested with O-Glycoprotease (IMPa) followed by Trypsin-ultra Mass Spectrometry Grade (NEB #P8101).
The optimal reaction buffer for O-Glycoprotease (IMPa) activity is 20 mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.0. The optimal pH range for O-Glycoprotease (IMPa) is pH 7.0-8.0. Enzyme activity decreases significantly at pH values below 7.0 and above pH 8.0.
